Aamir Khan is spilling secrets about Thugs Of Hindostan. In a candid interview, the actor compared the ambitious heist film to the legendary Sholay, explaining why he took on the role.
Aamir drew parallels between the two films, positioning Thugs Of Hindostan as a modern-day epic with the same grandiose appeal that made Sholay a cultural phenomenon.
But Aamir revealed that what hit screens was dramatically different from the original script he'd agreed to. The film underwent rewrites before or during production.
The 2018 period heist film, which also starred Amitabh Bachchan, became one of the year's most talked-about releases. Aamir's admission that the final product deviated from his initial vision adds detail to the film's behind-the-scenes story.
Fans have long debated what Thugs Of Hindostan could have been, and this revelation only deepens speculation about scrapped storylines and character arcs.
Aamir's honesty about the creative changes is candid in an industry where actors typically follow the PR line. It is a rare glimpse into Bollywood's filmmaking process, where scripts evolve or shift behind closed doors.
